Chris Grimshaw Posted 5 February , 2008 Share Posted 5 February , 2008 Hi Chris looking for information on a Reginald Sidney Castledine Surrey Yeomanry Private 1782 then acting Sergeant 1782, Medal card shows 15 star, Victory & British, Entry into France 22 12 14, Survived the War Regards Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Barker Posted 5 February , 2008 Share Posted 5 February , 2008 Hello Chris : could you shed light upon a William Charter, please? #3582, 8th Batt, East Surrey Regt. From medal rolls, entered France 27.04.1915, and KiA 08.01.1918. Commemorated on Tyne Cot. DoB Q4, 1887, Fenstanton, Huntingdonshire. He married Q2 1916, Edmonton, Middlesex. As an aside, on the Medal Roll, does the symbol of a large X with a dot in each quadrant mean anything ? The symbol appears on the second line of the Rank column, against Corporal and again over the column heading Roll. Does anybody have access to the East Surrey War Diaries, do you know ? Many thanks for any help Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveE Posted 5 February , 2008 Share Posted 5 February , 2008 could you shed light upon a William Charter, please? No Charters listed either . As an aside, on the Medal Roll, does the symbol of a large X with a dot in each quadrant mean anything ? The symbol appears on the second line of the Rank column, against Corporal and again over the column heading Roll. The symbol indicates which details are to be recorded on the medal(s) indicated. In this instance it sounds as if it's the rank of Corporal on the Victory and British War Medals. Regards Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Barker Posted 5 February , 2008 Share Posted 5 February , 2008 Hello Steve - thnaks for looking - rats. Thanks also for your info about the symbol. If I had been bright enough to look through the postings on interpreting Medal Rolls before posting, I'd have worked it out myself ! It does seem to indicate he was awarded these three when he was a cpl. If I have got it right, the attachment is of the pic of his card.

EastSurrey Posted 2 March , 2008 Share Posted 2 March , 2008 I have just purchased the CD from the Surrey Family History Trust. It contains the Queen's Royal West Surrey Regiment & East Surrey Regiment Regimental Recruiting District's register from 1908 to 1933. It seems to contain all those who enlisted within the recruiting district but not men who enlisted elsewhere and went into those regiments. A useful resource nontheless. Chris C Chris,I'd be most grateful if you coul lok up Charles Woodbury,my greatuncle,who enlisted in the East Surrey Regiment,in Surrey,around June 1915.

Best wishes Andy Andy,my wife Ann was wondering if you could be so kind as to look up her grandfather Henry(also known as Harry) Hemmings,born in Bristol,on 9.2 1898(although he could have lied about his age!),but lived in London and served in the Army in the Great War.Unfortunately there are no Burnt Records for a man of that name but a lot with medal cards!

Ice Tiger Posted 3 March , 2008 Share Posted 3 March , 2008 CORBETT, Charles John 39266 8th East Surrey LINN, Charles Henry G/10511 8th Royal West Surrey STRAWSON, Frank Gordon (2/Lieut. when KIA in 1918) 11th Royal West Surrey BROWN, William Albert G/11144 4th Middlesex (known to have resided in Surrey) Wesley The numbers on these records are attestation numbers and as they were not given a regimental number at the time of enlistment I am unable to search by this. C Corbett - the only one listed is 4th Batn East Surrey C.H. Linn - not listed F.G. Strawson - not listed W.A.Brown - There is a W. Brown listed in the Middlesex. However he is in the 5th not the 4th. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
